A communication was received from the
School Trustees urging that one large
building, instead of two small ones, be
erected for the colored schools.

W. Robertson, was invited to give his
views, and Informed the CouuciI that two
schools would double the expense, III
Volve the employment of still another set
of teachers, and in many other respects be
less advantageous to the school system of
Stanton than single large building.

Craig, Cochran and Berkeley, a resolution,
offered by Mr.. Bargamin, ins5ructlng the
'Committee On Public Grounds and Build
ipgs. in conjunction with that on schools

that could not be repudidted when others
asked the same thing from tbs Council;
and those advocating it as a matter of Ne
cessity 10 the locality concerned. Mr.
Barganin OF the Electric Light Commit
tee. said be had been informed that the
dynamo would supply another electric
light and that if this was the
case the city could put one Of its own
lights at the dark spot; the lamp could be
gotten right away and until it can be put
up there will be moonlight this month.
The vote being taken On Mr.. Butts re-
port resulted in its defeat.
Ayes.-Messrs. Berkeley. Butts and
tCochran-S.
Noes-Messrs. Bargamin, Craig, Crowle,
tOberdorfer, Summerson and Teabo-6.
This Is a neighbor hood which should
certainly have an electric light IT one can
be furnished for it. The school Of Prof.

many of the square-fronts of the city
which are archaeological.
